Claude and MB
On 4/21/2007 F wrote in from Canada  (70.53.nnn.nnn)

Thanx MB!!

I am the happiest man on earth, even with my 2 foots completly smashed from a bum fight i had with a guy trying to enter my house this morning, at 5h30am. I tasted my survival skills, i won.

I will be in Ottawa for the slalom race. I am letting the slide world a little on the side to concentrate in the other discipline i use to do when i started. You have to thanx Claude for giving me these crazy bushings in Paris. I am enjoying them since then.

Big love from Montreal!!!

cheap ghetto slide gloves
On 4/18/2007 nic wrote in from United States  (65.44.nnn.nnn)

first youll need some gloves. some strong leather ones the kind welders use. or any thing you feel is strong. youll need 2 CDs yes CDs ones that you dont kare about and would throw away. and a roll of duck tape.

first step get one CD and tape it to the palm of the glove (it dont matter what side you use on the CD) tape it like you would wrap a cloth on your palm if you cut it or something. now get some peices of duck tape and make that sticky outside ring thing the one you use to put up pics when you dont want to see the tape. get three that would fit on the CD without it coming off the edge of the CD. get the other CD and place it on top of the other CD. make the CDs flush together. sit on it so the tape stick real good. BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! know you got some good sliding gloves. go out and skate and make sure to wear a helmet j/k.

Isabelle, can you send me your email? I will never laugh at someone speaking french to me. Its hard, and you have been a while without practicing it. Let me get back to you via personal mail.

Thanx for offering your house, but Genevieve is gonna give birth around these dates! You will probably ear my YYEPPPIIIII when she will give birth, even if you will be in France at that moment!

Ok, talk to you via email.

Love and hugs from Montreal,

too big
On 4/9/2007 isabelle wrote in from United States  (209.66.nnn.nnn)

the key in learning to slide is wheel hardnesss, which is way more important than deck size. harder is much easier than softer, but way more reckless if you want to carve etc.

tech slides = hard wheels to learn then whatever.
slides in general - don't matter 'cept the need 4 speed is vital on your end up on your ass.

oh, i just got a surrender to 360!!!!!!!!! stoked for getting my tech slide fever going! this year after watching true sliders rip i got that sliding is NOT only for ditching speed or stopping - it's ALL ABOUT STYLE and TRICKS!
